Rebate Mechanism for Equitable Financing and Emission Reductions in International Transport
Developing countries can be rebated the cost of a maritime emission reduction scheme. The rebate mechanism is integrated with a market-based levy on fuel for international shipping. Applied worldwide, it would raise circa $20bn in 2020 from developed countries. It could apply to aviation as well.
